Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a bathtub with a washing area that allows a separately manufactured pedestal, washing area, and bathtub to be easily assembled at a construction site.

As is well known, the basic components of a residential bathroom unit are a bathtub, washing area, walls, and ceiling; in conventional bathroom units made of synthetic resin or stainless steel, the walls and ceiling are separate components. The washing area and bathtub are molded as a single piece, although it has become a new building. Therefore, the integrated molding of the washing area and bathtub is bulky and difficult to transport, and especially when installed as a bathroom in a high-rise building, it takes a lot of time and money to transport it. Furthermore, when adding a bathroom to a house, the entrance may be too narrow to carry the product in. In such a case, the entrance must be demolished and the product must be brought in.

Therefore, the present applicant has devised a bathtub with a washing area that can be easily transported to any site by separating the washing area and the bathtub, and can be easily assembled, and has filed a utility model registration application ( Utility model registration application No. 124906 was filed in 1981.

However, it has been found that the bathtub with a washing area according to the above application causes inconvenience when integrating the washing area and the bathtub in a narrow bathroom.

As a result of repeated efforts to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, we have arrived at this idea.

That is, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bathtub with a washing area that allows the washing area and the bathroom to be easily assembled and integrated even in a narrow bathroom.

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figure 1, 1 is a bathtub made of synthetic resin or metal such as stainless steel, and a deep bathtub part 2
and an upper edge 3 extending horizontally outward from the upper edge of the bathtub portion 2. The washing area side of the upper edge portion 3 extends from near the end of one edge of the upper edge portion 3 parallel to the width of the bathtub portion 2 in the width direction of the bathtub portion 2.
A first edge portion 4 extending toward the longitudinal width of the bathtub portion 2, and a first edge portion 4 extending toward the longitudinal width of the bathtub portion 2 from near the end of the other edge portion of the upper edge portion 3 parallel to the widthwise width of the bathtub portion 2. 2 edge portions 5, the first edge portion 4 and the second edge portion 5;
It has a third edge part 6 which connects the edge part 5 and is parallel to the longitudinal width of the bathtub part 2, and has a first edge part 6 when viewed from above.
The edge portion 4 and the second edge portion 5 are formed symmetrically. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower ends of the first edge part 4, second edge part 5, and third edge part 6 are bent into an L shape toward the bathtub part 2 to form a flange part 7. In addition, insertion holes for attaching fixing members such as bolts, screws, pins, etc. are formed in the flange 7 at appropriate intervals.

The bottom part of the bathtub part 2 is made up of a bottom plate and a bottom plate, and a heat insulating material such as urethane foam is filled between the bottom part and the bottom plate to reinforce the bath and to ensure heat insulation. And in the four corners of the bottom plate of the bottom part,
Attach a hollow leg 8 with a nut inside.

The washing area 9 is made of metal such as stainless steel or synthetic resin, has a box-like shape that is open at the top, and has a bottom part 10 and a side part 11 that stands upright around the bottom part 10.

The side surface portion 11 has a width of a first side surface portion 11A facing the bathtub 1 shorter than a width of a side surface portion 11B facing parallel to the first side surface portion 11A, and is erected perpendicularly to the side surface portion 11B. A pair of second side parts 1
It has a pair of inclined side surfaces 11E, 11E that are inclined and form an opening 12 between 1C, 11D and both sides of the first side surface 11A. The width of the first side surface portion 11A is approximately equal to the length of the third edge portion 6, and the first side surface portion 1 of the inclined side surface portions 11E, 11E is approximately equal to the length of the third edge portion 6.
The angle of inclination with respect to 1A is approximately the same as the angle of inclination of the first edge portion 4 or the second edge portion 5 with respect to the third edge portion 6. A horizontal mounting piece 13 is provided to extend outward at the upper end of the first side surface portion 11A and the pair of inclined side surface portions 11E, 11E. The attachment piece 13 is provided with an insertion hole 14 for attaching a fixing member such as a bolt, screw, or pin.

The opening 12 has a size that allows the operator's arm or hand to be inserted so that the bathtub 1 and the washing area 9 can be joined together. After the work of connecting the bathtub 1 and the washing area 9,
A box body 15 with a bottom is fixed to the opening 12 so as to protrude from the back side of the inclined side surfaces 11E, 11E. At this time, since the inclined side surface portion 11E is inclined, a space is formed between it and the bathtub 1, and the box body 15 with a bottom can be buried therein. The box 15 can be easily buried in the opening 12 in the following manner.

That is, in the inclined side surface portion 11E, as shown in FIG. 3, a first screw insertion hole 16 is provided near the opening 12. A locking collar 17 extending outward is provided at the opening of the box body 15, and the box body 15 is inserted into the opening 12 from the inside of the washing area 9 toward the outside, so that the edge of the opening 12 and the locking collar 17 are connected to each other. A second screw insertion hole 18 is provided in the locking collar 17 at a position corresponding to the first screw insertion hole 16 when the two screws are overlapped. Further, on the back side of the inclined side surface portion 11E, as shown in FIG.
A pair of locking pieces 19, 19 are raised so as to face each other with a predetermined interval, and the locking pieces 19, 19 are
A locking fitting 22 formed with a notch 21 for locking the threaded thread of the screw 20 on opposing edges of the screw 20.
into the first screw insertion hole 16. Then, while the edge of the opening 12 and the locking flange 17 are overlapped, each second screw insertion hole 18 is inserted into the first screw insertion hole 1.
When the screw 20 is press-fitted into the opening 12, the edge of the notch 21 fits into the groove of the screw 20, thereby firmly connecting the box 15 to the opening 12. When the screw 20 is rotated counterclockwise, the screw 20 can be easily inserted into the first screw insertion hole 1.
6 and the second screw insertion hole 18, thereby allowing the box 15 to be easily removed from the opening 12.

In addition, when the washing area 9 is made of metal, the locking pieces 19, 19 may be formed directly on the back side of the first screw insertion hole 16.

The bathtub pedestal 23 and the washing area pedestal 24 for mounting and fixing the bathtub 1 and the washing area 9, respectively, are each made of, for example, a steel frame assembled into a frame shape,
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the bathtub pedestal 23 and the washing area pedestal 24 can be created separately, and the two pedestals 23 and 24 can be brought together on one side by abutting each other and integrated with several bolts.
